		This John was the son of Welflin (or Wölflin), a burger of Pomuk (Nepomuk), and studied theology and jurisprudence at the University of Prague.
		The body of John of Nepomuk was drawn out of the Moldau and entombed in the cathedral of Prague, where in fact, as is proved by later documents, his grave was honoured.

	St. John of Nepomuk * Nepomuk – John's birthplace
		Based on the tradition, John's native home was situated in the place of the present pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk.
		This small church was completed as late as 1654 and it had to be consecrated to St. John the Baptist because John of Nepomuk was not recognised as a saint yet.
		In 1734 – 1738 a new Church of St. John of Nepomuk and St. John the Baptist replaced it that was probably built based on the plans of a well-known architect Kilián Ignác Diezenhofer.

	John of Nepomuk (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The unscrupulous chronicler Wenceslaus Hayek, the "Bohemian Livy," speaks in 1541 (probably owing to carelessness in the use of his sources) of two Johns of Nepomuk being drowned; the first as confessor, the second for his confirmation of the abbot.
		The ingenious suggestion has been made that the historical kernel of St. John Nepomuk is really Jan Hus, who was metamorphosed from a Bohemian Reformer into a Roman-Catholic saint; and that the Nepomuk legend is a Jesuit blending of the John who was drowned and the John who was burned.
		But when the Jesuits came to Prague, the Nepomuk worship had long been widespread; and the idea of canonization originated in opposition not to the Hussites, but to Protestantism, as a weapon of the Counter-Reformation - though his cultus was also intended to supplant Huss in the hearts of the Bohemian people.

		As vicar general of Prague, John’s authority was second only to that of the archbishop, and with his superior’s permission he exercised his authority in defense of the Church.
		As vicar general John replied for the archbishop: the region around the monastery already had a bishop, and canon law did not permit gerrymandering a diocese to accommodate the whims of a king.
		He had his men gag John by wedging a wooden block in his mouth; then, loaded with chains, John was dragged through the streets of Prague to a bridge over the Moldau River where his guards lifted him over the railing and threw him into the water.

	Milwaukee parishes respond differently
		John Nepomuk's parish is searching for other possible victims as members sort through feelings of anger and betrayal, while parish members of St. Charles in Burlington, where Benham served for 12 years and where he recently bought a house, are shocked but confident that no abuse occurred there.
		The victim said Benham "had a group of kids that he'd always do stuff with," at St. John Nepomuk, but that he does not know if other people were harmed during that time.
		But St. John Nepomuk's parish remains uneasy, and Sande Jensen, the parish director, said Thursday that she had received a phone call Monday from a member who had asked for the number of a Milwaukee organization that works with victims of abuse.
